Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 321 The key is the pair of stone lions
Chen Yang invited Di Guoliang and Liu Haifeng to the living room on the second floor.

Do business first, extract fingerprints and footprints, the whole family except children.

Then, the two police officers began to question and record.Grandpa, Chen Yang, Shunzi, Chen Bing, Chen Ping, and Chen Hongling all took notes.

Then, the two policemen left first.

At this time, Chen Yang brought out good tea and cigarettes to entertain Di Guoliang and Liu Haifeng.

Liu Haifeng asked with a smile: "Brother Yang, are you really the richest man in Chen Family Village?"

Di Guoliang smiled and said, "It's not just the Chen Family Village. From my point of view, Xiao Chen is at least the richest man in the northern district of the city."

Chen Yang also laughed, "Haifeng, don't listen to Director Di's nonsense."

Liu Haifeng hurriedly said: "Brother Yang, let me solemnly introduce, this is Comrade Di Guoliang, our deputy political commissar."

"Oh, my eyes don't know Mount Tai. Uncle Di, congratulations, congratulations on your progress."

Di Guoliang smiled and waved his hands, "They all serve the people."

Chen Yang asked: "Uncle Di, Haifeng, isn't this case weird enough?"

"Wonderful?" Di Guoliang raised his eyebrows.

Liu Haifeng said: "Even stealing two stone lions is indeed a bit strange."

Di Guoliang asked, "Xiao Chen, do you have any clues to offer?"

Chen Yang smiled, but stopped talking.

Di Guoliang pointed at Chen Yang, "Today, Haifeng and I came to find you specially. You know what it means. Don't hide it from me."

Liu Haifeng took out his pen and notebook to record.

Chen Yang expressed his thoughts, "There are two possibilities. One is the cooperation between the inside and the outside. There are people from the village in this gang. Because only people in the village know that water conservancy fees and education fees are being collected today."

"Talk about second thoughts." Di Guoliang remained expressionless.

"Another possibility is that people from other villages who came to our village yesterday. Both those who passed by and those who came to visit are suspicious. Especially those small merchants and peddlers who wander the streets and villages, these people must be investigated. Their ability to inquire It is very strong, and it is possible to know that the village department has money last night."

Di Guoliang said to Liu Haifeng, "We haven't discussed this point, so you should keep it in mind."

Liu Haifeng nodded while recording.

"Also, and..." Chen Yang hesitated suddenly.

"Say it." Di Guoliang urged.

"There is also the fact that the two stone lions were stolen, which may be related to superstition. Either they were stolen to decorate the facade, or they were stolen to sell money. Or their existence is not conducive to some people's feng shui. If it is related to feng shui, It is likely that the villagers did it."

Di Guoliang thought about it and asked, "Xiao Chen, do you have any basis for saying that?"

"I heard about the third grandpa back then. He said that two stone lions were stolen by someone. They didn't sell them, but threw them in the river. I heard about this. You can ask those on the older people."

Liu Haifeng asked: "Brother Yang, how heavy are those two stone lions?"

Chen Yang shook his head, "I don't know the details, and I don't dare to use the scales. I only heard from the old people that each weighs about three hundred catties."

This is a very important clue.

Di Guoliang and Liu Haifeng left.

Chen Yang called his grandfather to the main room.

"Grandpa, are the two stone lions at the gate of the village good or bad for our village?"

Grandpa smiled and asked Chen Yang: "The three major surnames in our village, Chen, Cai, and Tong, which surname develops well and which surname does not develop well?"

Chen Yang thought for a while, "It should be that our surname Chen has developed the best. Almost every household has something to do. According to my estimation, there seems to be no family that does not make money this year. The lowest living standard is also on the line of food and clothing."

Grandpa nodded and said, "The surname Cai is better than the surname Tong. There is another surname Cai that is incomparable with our surname Chen, and that is the cultural aspect. If you pay attention, you will find that in recent years Those who passed the elementary school to junior high school, and those who passed the junior high school to high school, the Cai surname is the most, and the Tong surname is the least."

Chen Yang snorted, "I really didn't notice this."

Grandpa took out a cigarette, Chen Yang took out a lighter, and helped grandpa light it.

"Grandpa, is there anything else?"

Grandpa smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "You, what counts every day is money. You can't see other things in front of you."

"Hehe...that's why I need you, old man."

Grandpa put away his smile and said, "Think about how many people died in the village in the past three years? How many of them were named Tong?"

Chen Yang seriously recalled, "In the past three years, a total of 22 people died in our village, old and young. Except for three surnamed Cai and one surnamed Chen, the other [-] people were all surnamed Tong."

"Understand?"

"understood."

Grandpa whispered, "Not long ago, their surname Tong practiced feudal superstition, saying that there was a problem with Feng Shui, and asked someone to take a look. It is said that the problem is said to be the two stone lions."

Chen Yang nodded, "I've heard that too. It is said that the pair of stone lions can protect people surnamed Chen and Cai, but not people surnamed Tong."

Grandpa stretched out four fingers, "Last night, there were four people in the village, and three of them were named Tong. Think about it, think about it."

After all, Grandpa got up and left.

Ginger is old and hot, Chen Yang looked at his grandfather's back and sighed.

Chen Yang quietly contacted Di Guoliang and told him exactly what his grandfather said.

The police have a mature thinking and a clear direction in handling cases.

If there is no pair of stone lions, it is possible that people from other villages committed the crime.

Because of this pair of stone lions, the target of the police uncle is the people of this village first.

According to the information provided by Chen Yang and his grandfather, the police interviewed the elderly in the village, especially the elderly surnamed Chen and Cai.

According to the preliminary conclusion, the scope of the target was further narrowed, and it was locked on the person surnamed Tong.

But at this point in the case, the case suddenly reached an impasse because there were no clear clues.

The militiamen have withdrawn, and most of the police have also withdrawn, leaving only the task force, about a dozen people.

The team leader is Di Guoliang, and Liu Haifeng is also in this task force.

Some days later, it was the autumn harvest season, the day of harvesting rice.

Chen Yang's contracted field has been subcontracted to his uncle Chen Dongnan, so he doesn't need to work in the field.

But Chen Yang was the same as in previous years, leading his eldest sister and second brother, as well as the second younger sister, third younger sister and third younger brother who were on busy farming vacation, and Shun Zi, to help his cousin Chen Dongnan cut rice.

Of course, as in previous years, the one-year rations of Chen Yang's family, as well as the dried rice for making rice cakes, and the glutinous rice for making mochi, were all provided by his uncle Chen Dongnan.

Chen Yang bought from Chen Dongnan according to the market price plus 5.00%, which benefited him.

In Chen Yang's words, this is not only supporting Tang Shu, but also supporting agriculture.

On this day, the late rice in the contracted field of Chen Yang's family was being harvested.

A total of ten people from Chen Yang's family and Chen Dongnan's family gathered here, and the scene was spectacular.

Tong Xiaolong was cutting rice in his own field, and asked Chen Yang, "Brother Yang, who do you think is responsible for that case?"

Chen Yang responded loudly: "I heard that people in our village did it."
